for leasing, as is ordinary in Seller's course of business.
As to any units that are not in "market-ready" rentable
condition which units were vacated more than five (5) business
days prior to the date of the Closing, Purchaser and Seller
understand and agree that Purchaser shall be entitled to
credit against the Purchase Price at Closing an amount equal
to $500.00 per unit which Seller and Purchaser agree is the
amount required to put in "market-ready" rentable condition
any units that are not in such condition as of the date of the
Closing. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "market-ready"
shall mean units that are cleaned (including carpets),
painted, in good repair, with all appliances in good-working
order. Purchaser shall have the right to re-inspect the

claimed to be due either before or after Closing, to employees
or former employees of the property manager shall constitute
obligations of the property manager only, and Seller agrees to
indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from all such
obligations and claims.
(o) Restrictions on Additional Indebtedness. Seller will not
borrow any money or do, or fail to do, any other act or thing which

other than as presently existing or in the ordinary course of
business.

11. Prorations and Adjustments.
(a) Items Prorated. All prorations and adjustments shall be
made and determined as of the Proration Date as follows:
(i) Rents. Collected rents shall be prorated. Seller
shall not receive any proration credit for rents accrued and
delinquent for months prior to the Proration Date, and all
rentals received after such date shall be applied, first, to
current and, then, delinquent obligations, the latter of which
shall be paid to Seller; provided, however, nothing herein
shall operate to require Purchaser to institute a lawsuit to
recover such amounts. Seller shall not be charged for
uncollected rent for the month within which the Proration Date
shall occur, it being the intent of the parties to prorate
only the rents that have been collected at such date. Any
delinquent rents for periods prior to the Proration Date and
a prorated portion of rents for the month uncollected as of
the Proration Date which are collected by Purchaser and which
are not necessary to bring a tenant current as described above
shall be forwarded to Seller.
(ii) Prepaid Rents and Security and Other Deposits.
Prepaid rents and security and other tenant deposits
(including but not limited to pet deposits and key deposits),
if any, under assigned leases shall be paid to Purchaser by
Seller (or credited against the Purchase Price) at Closing.
Purchaser shall assume full liability therefor and shall
indemnify and hold Seller harmless with respect to all such
deposits.
(iii) Service Contracts. Prepaid or unpaid amounts
under those Service Contracts listed in Exhibit K, which shall
be assigned to and assumed by Purchaser at Closing shall be
prorated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall
receive no credit or proration for initial payments and
incentive compensation paid on long-term contracts including
but not limited to laundry contracts and leases.
(iv) Property Taxes. Taxes assessed upon the Property
for calendar year 1996 shall be prorated based on the
assumption that the actual taxes for the entire calendar year
1996 will be the same as calendar year 1995, which amount
Seller and Purchaser agree is a reasonable estimate of 1996
taxes. Taxes prorated at Closing shall be re-prorated between
the parties promptly upon the receipt of the 1996 real estate
tax xxxx and proper adjustments promptly paid.
(v) Utilities. Utility charges shall not be prorated
but, rather, instructions shall be given to the utility
companies by Seller (with a duplicate copy of such instruction
being provided concurrently to Purchaser) to read the meters
on the date of Closing and to issue separate statements
thereafter. If applicable, utility deposits will be credited
to Seller and assigned to Purchaser at Closing. In the event
that any provider of utilities shall refuse to issue separate
statements in the manner aforesaid, applicable utility charges
shall be adjusted on a prorata basis by dividing the amount
charged on the utility statement by the number of days covered
by such statement. Seller shall be responsible for payment of
utility charges accruing prior to the Proration Date and
Purchaser shall pay utility charges thereafter.
(vi) Other Adjustments. Such other items as are adjusted
pursuant to custom in the state constituting the situs of the
Property and on similar real estate transactions.
(vii) Delivery by Seller of Documents and Supplies.
Seller, at Closing, shall assign and deliver to Purchaser all
original leases, deposits, supplies, contracts, and other
items as to which proration is to be made. Seller also shall
deliver to Purchaser all Plans and Specifications, if any,
relating to the Property and all such other documents, books,
records, and keys in Seller's possession which relate to the
operation, maintenance or management of the Property. Seller
also shall deliver to Purchaser its current supply, if any, of
printed leasing brochures, floor plans and other advertising
literature with respect to the Property.
12. Material Damage.
(a) Procedure. If, prior to Closing, a Property shall be
destroyed or sustain Material Damage as a result of fire or other
casualty, then, subject to the rights of Seller's lender, at
Purchaser's option exercised in the manner provided hereunder, the
following shall occur with respect to the Property:
(i) This Agreement shall become null and void and the
Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, provided
that Purchaser gives notice of such election at or prior to
Closing, but in any event within ten (10) days following
receipt by Purchaser of notice of the occurrence of any such
event; or
(ii) If all other conditions precedent to Purchaser's
obligation to close have been satisfied, the purchase and sale
transaction shall close with a reduction in the cash portion
of the purchase price equal to the amount of the applicable
insurance deductible, and concurrently with such closing,
Seller and any other named insured shall assign to Purchaser,
in form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, all claims
arising under any policy of insurance covering such casualty,
and Seller shall have no further liability to Purchaser with
respect to such damage.
(iii) If the parties shall fail to agree on the
amount of the cost of such restoration, such cost of
restoration shall be determined by the following process:
Seller and Purchaser together shall select three (3) reputable
independent third party contractors to submit estimates for
the cost of repair of the damage and shall accept the average
of all of the estimates as the amount of the damage for
purposes of this paragraph.
(b) Damage Other Than Material Damage. In the event of any
damage to a Property other than Material Damage, the purchase and
sale transaction shall close in accordance with and subject to the
conditions of Subparagraph 10(a)(ii). If the Property is
uninsured, the cash portion of the Purchase Price shall be reduced
by the cost to restore determined in the manner provided above.
13. Condemnation. If, prior to Closing, any governmental or
similar authority shall institute eminent domain or similar
proceeding or take any steps preliminary thereto (including the
giving of any direct or indirect notice of intent to institute any
such proceeding) that, if successful, would materially, adversely
affect the value of the Property or materially interfere with the
use thereof, Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this
Agreement upon written notice to Seller prior to Closing and to a
return of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. As used in this paragraph,
the term "materially" shall mean condemnation proceeds in excess of
an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price.
14. Brokerage and Consultants.
(a) Representation of Seller. Seller represents and warrants
that, except for Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx of CB Commercial Real Estate
Group, Inc. ("Broker"), it has neither employed, retained nor
consulted any broker, consultant, agent or finder in carrying on

commission or other compensation arising by reason of the breach of
this representation and warranty. Purchaser further represents and

as a fee or a commission, or any amount of a similar nature,
whatever designated, as a result of the purchase and sale referred
to herein.
(c) Advice as to Title. Purchaser acknowledges that, at the
time of execution of this Agreement, Seller has advised Purchaser
by this writing that Purchaser should have the abstract covering
the Property examined by an attorney of Purchaser's own selection
or that Purchaser should be furnished with or should obtain a
policy of title insurance.
15. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of Purchaser. Seller hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and any other holder
of record title to the Property pursuant to Paragraph 21, their
officers, directors, general partners, agents and employees and
their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns, from and against any and all liability arising out of the
ownership or operation of the Property prior to Closing, including,
but not limited to, any and all claims, liabilities, damages,
penalties and losses, costs or expenses (including court costs and
reasonable attorney's fees) incurred, resulting from or in any way
arising out of any act or omission of Seller, its agents and
employees, in respect of the operation of the Property prior to
Closing, any injury to persons or damage to property happening or
occurring in, on or about the Property. Seller further agrees,
upon notice and request from Purchaser, to contest any such demand,
claim, suit or action against which Seller has hereinabove agreed
to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless, and to defend any action
that may be brought in connection with any such demand, claim, suit
or action or with respect to which Seller has hereinabove agreed to
indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless and to bear all costs and
expenses of such contest and defense, provided, however, that
Seller shall have no obligation hereunder to indemnify or hold
Purchaser harmless from and against any claim, liability, damage,
penalty or loss, cost or expense incurred by Purchaser incident to,
resulting from or in any way arising out of any act or omission of
Purchaser, its agent or employees, it being understood and agreed,
however, that the employees engaged in the operation of the

purposes of this provision, the employees of Seller and the acts
and omissions of said employees shall in no way be attributable to
Purchaser for the purposes of this provision.

13(a), Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its
general partner, the officers, directors, general partners, agents
and employees of the general partner and their respective heirs,

and against any claim, liability, damage, penalty, loss, cost or
expense (including court costs and reasonable attorney's fees)
incurred by Seller incident to, resulting from or in any way
arising out of any act or omission of Purchaser, its agents or
employees, or arising out of, or in any way connected with,

Seller or Purchaser under this Paragraph 13, the party against whom
such claim is asserted shall promptly give notice thereof to the
other party hereto. Thereupon, such other party shall have the
option of retaining counsel of its choice to defend both it and the
remaining party in respect of such claim and to control, in a
manner reasonable in light of applicable circumstances, the course
and ultimate disposition of such claim. In the event that a party
to this Agreement shall elect to exercise the option provided in
the preceding sentence, the party electing such option, by reason
thereof, shall be deemed to have agreed to pay all reasonable costs
and expenses of defending against such claim and any liability of
the party against whom such claim was asserted on account thereof.

mutual and the independent interests of Seller and Purchaser
therein.

that title to the Property will be conveyed at Closing to such
other entity as Purchaser may direct by written notice to Seller
not less than fifteen (15) days prior to Closing.
24. Waiver. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
no inspection by Purchaser of the Property or of any item delivered
by Seller to Purchaser as provided in this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver of any representation, warranty or covenant
made by Seller hereunder. Provided however, in the event that
during the Feasibility Period, Purchaser discovers any fact or
condition in contradiction of any representation, warranty or
covenant made by Seller hereunder and fails to disclose such fact
or condition to Seller prior to Closing, Purchaser shall be deemed
to have waived any claim against Seller arising from such fact or
condition. The waiver by a party hereto of any term, covenant,
agreement or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be
a waiver of any subsequent breach or failure of condition as to the
same or any other term, covenant, agreement or condition herein
contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may arise between
the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be construed
as a waiver of or in such a manner as to lessen the rights of any
party to insist upon the performance by the other parties in strict
accordance with such terms.
25. Time of the Essence. The time for performance of the
obligations of the parties hereunder is of the essence in this
Agreement.
26. Survival of Agreement. Except as set forth in Paragraph

any performance specified or anticipated to occur following the

subparagraphs of this Agreement are included for purposes of
convenience only and shall not affect the construction or
interpretation of any of its provisions.
28. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but
all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
29. General.

record or cause to be recorded in the public records, at any time
prior to Closing this Agreement or any memorandum or other evidence

recourse or commence any action against any of the directors,
officers or stockholders of the general partner of Seller or any of
their personal assets for the performance or payment of any
obligation hereunder or thereunder. The foregoing shall also apply
to any future documents, agreements, understandings, arrangements
and transactions between the parties hereto.
(e) No Further Agreements. While this Agreement is in full
force and effect, Seller shall not enter into any other agreement
or Letter of Intent to sell the Property.
(f) Confidentiality. The parties hereto hereby agree that
they will maintain the confidentiality of all information and
materials provided to each other in connection herewith and the
terms of the transaction contemplated hereby, the contents of this

30. Date of Performance. In the event the expiration date of
any review period herein specified or the expiration date of any
period of time in which a party hereto is to deliver any item to
any other party hereto should be a legal holiday in the State of
Florida or a Saturday or Sunday, such expiration date shall be
extended to the next business day which is not a legal holiday in
the State of Florida or a Saturday or Sunday, and such next
business day shall be considered such expiration date.
31. Invalid Provisions. If any one or more of the provisions
of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision

and effect.
32. Inspections. Prior to the expiration of the Feasibility
Period, Purchaser shall have received various reports, satisfactory
to Purchaser in its sole discretion, of inspections of the Property
(including without limitation structural, mechanical,
environmental, cathodic and financial). On or prior to the
Information Delivery Date, Purchaser shall have received the items
listed in Schedule I attached hereto. Seller shall make the
Property and all reports, books and records and agreements relating
to the construction, management and operation of the Property
available to the Purchaser and its agents as provided in Paragraph
7 hereof throughout the Feasibility Period. In addition, Purchaser
agrees that during the Feasibility Period, it shall cause the
Property to be inspected for termites and other wood- destroying
insects. In the event Purchaser terminates this Agreement,
Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a copy of such inspection report.
Purchaser and Seller further agree that during the Feasibility
Period, they shall determine an amount to be credited against the
Purchase Price in the event that Seller is unsuccessful in making
a claim for replacement of the polybutaline pipes installed in the
Property. If the results of the inspections are unsatisfactory to
Purchaser, or if Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach agreement
regarding a credit for the polybutaline pipe, for any reason
whatsoever, in its sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser, at its
election, may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to
Seller at any time prior to 5:00 P.M., C.D.T., on or before the
last day of the Feasibility Period, whereupon the Title Insurer
immediately shall return the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Purchaser,
this Agreement automatically shall terminate, and neither party
shall have any further obligation to the other except the
indemnities contained elsewhere herein. In the absence of such
notice by such date, the inspections shall be deemed to have been
approved by Purchaser. Except as expressly set forth herein,
Seller has not made, does not hereby make, and hereby specifically
disclaims any express or implied representations or warranties
whatsoever with respect to the condition of the Property, including
without limitation any representation or warranty regarding quality
of construction, workmanship, merchantability or fitness for any
particular purpose; and Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser is
entering into this Agreement without relying upon any such warranty
or representation by Seller, its agents or representatives except
for those representations or warranties expressly set forth herein.
Purchaser's failure to terminate this Agreement prior to the
expiration of the Feasibility Period shall conclusively establish
that Purchaser has fully examined and inspected the Property and is
satisfied with the condition thereof.
33. Notification of Non-Delivery. In the event that either
party hereto shall become aware of the non-delivery of any item or
document required to be delivered under this Agreement, a breach of
a representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein, or other
failure of condition, the party becoming aware of such event shall
give prompt notice to the other party in accordance with Paragraph
17 hereof.
